Magnusson hires Ramberg Advokater partner for Malmö launch

Partner Peter Friis has joined Magnusson from Swedish firm Ramberg Advokater, where he was also a partner, to head the new office.

Friis will be joined by Jonas Holmstedt, a corporate lawyer who was previously an associate at Vinge. Holmstedt becomes a partner at Magnusson.

Private client specialist Tove Sjövall, who joned Magnusson as a partner from her own firm in September last year, is relocating from Copenhagen to Malmö.

Senior partner Per Magnusson said the firm had ambitions to become a “pan-regional powerhouse” across the Nordic and Baltic region.

The Malmö office will offer corporate, litigation, real estate and private client services.

The office launch comes just under a year after Magnusson expanded into Finland by hiring six partners from local firms (16 February 2011).

Magnusson also has offices in Copenhagen, Gothenburg, Minsk, Moscow, Stockholm and Warsaw.
